Your husband is too motivated

Chapter 16

In fact, the Tang Mansion is actually smaller than the He Mansion, but most of the people living on the street where the He Mansion is located are rich people, while the people living on the street where the Tang Mansion is located are all court officials, those with smaller official positions and no roots. Not qualified to live here, some officials who come to Beijing from other places can only succumb to the street where He Mansion is located.

Tang Cheng and Tang Nuan came back at this time, which attracted some attention, but no one made irresponsible remarks. If they really wanted to know something, these people would secretly inquire and would not ask in person.

It was the first time for Tang Nuan to come to the Tang Mansion in the capital. Tang Cheng took Tang Nuan and walked towards the small courtyard specially prepared for her. There were not only two-story buildings in the courtyard, but also a large garden, and a rockery gazebo. Not lacking, compared with the He Mansion, the Tang Mansion is much simpler at first glance, but every place is just right, not too complicated, giving people a comfortable and bright feeling. Seeing that Tang Nuan likes it, Tang Cheng also smiled, Said, "Let Mama Li and the others pack up, and I'll take you to look elsewhere."

"En." Tang Nuan was also curious about the Tang Mansion in the capital, so she was naturally willing to take a few more steps.

Tang Cheng led Tang Nuan around the house slowly, explaining the purpose of each yard in detail, because it was his own yard, and it was getting late today, so he walked around the house, and only appreciate it when he has time.

Early the next morning, Tang Cheng brought gifts to Mr. Wenzhu's. This was different from yesterday's meeting ceremony, but an apprenticeship ceremony. These things had been prepared as early as in Nanling. Among them was a painting written by Mr. Tang himself. It's not that the Tang family can't bear the calligraphy and paintings of famous masters, but that Mr. Tang himself is a master. Many people want to ask for Mr. Tang's calligraphy and paintings. Unfortunately, Mr. Tang is not short of money. No matter whether it is calligraphy or paintings, he only sends them to relatives and friends. , so there are not many pieces out there, and each piece is worth thousands of gold.

And the thousand gold is not really 1000 taels of gold, but to show the preciousness of calligraphy and painting. If someone really asks Mr. Tang for a thousand gold, Mr. Tang will never refuse.

Tang Nuan stayed in the mansion, and took Lan Xi and Lan Le around carefully. Lan Xi and Lan Le no longer had the scruples they had when they were in He Mansion, but they were smiling, even Lan Le was a little less stable.

Before noon, Tang Cheng came back, and brought someone back with him. After hearing what the maid said, Tang Nuan thought for a while and said, "That's fine." Because Tang Nuan was at home, her attire was simple , so when guests came, I went back to the house and redressed, "Lanxi, go and find the box of tea I brought back from Nanling, brew it and send it to the third brother and the others first."

"Yes." After Lan Xigong replied, she went to prepare.

That box of tea is not a famous tea, but grown in the Tang family's own tea garden. It tastes good, and it is suitable to take it out to entertain guests at this time. After all, with the status of the prince of Yong'an County, there are often rewards from the palace. What? There is no shortage of such good things.

Tang Nuan just changed into a more formal dress, but she didn't dress up too much. When she arrived, Tang Cheng and Yong'an Hou Shizi had already moved to the study to enjoy calligraphy and painting.

Seeing Tang Nuan, Han Jing's expression turned serious. After tidying up his clothes, he said respectfully, "I'm here today to thank you, and to make amends."

Tang Nuan turned sideways and said, "Your Majesty is too polite."

Tang Cheng also stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile, "If Ziheng is like this, I'm afraid I won't dare to let Ziheng come to the door again."

Han Jing didn't force it when he heard the words, but he remembered the Tang family's kindness in his heart, but he still had to say what should be said, and he didn't need to mention the life-saving grace. He explained what happened in He Fu yesterday, "I know Tang Third Brother is not in the He Mansion, but Mrs. He's expression is not right, she left immediately, but in the evening I heard that Tang San Brother took people out of the He Mansion, I'm afraid it was also because of me, so I came here to apologize."

"Ziheng don't need to think too much." Tang Cheng made tea with his own hands, first poured a cup for Han Jing, then poured another cup for Tang Nuan, and kept the last cup for himself, "Taste Ziheng, this is made by my grandfather." The roasted tea leaves are a bit bitter at the beginning, but the aftertaste is sweet."

"You have to taste it well." Han Jing's eyes showed some surprise, and he took a sip of the tea, but his face changed as soon as he took the tea. It was not a bit bitter, but bitter to the extreme. Seeing that Han Jing almost spit out the tea, he managed to swallow the tea, seeing that the brothers and sisters of the Tang family didn't drink it at all, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Tang San, is this really just a bit bitter?"

Tang Cheng didn't answer, just took a sip from his teacup and said with a smile, "Try again."

If ordinary people see this, they will never take a second sip, just as if they were being teased, but Han Jing took another sip from the cup. Although this sip still feels bitter, it is not as difficult as it was at the beginning. Endure it, after swallowing it, I only feel that there is a sweet tea fragrance in my mouth, "Huh."

Tang Nuan also took a sip from the cup. They were used to drinking, so they didn't react as much as Han Jing did. Seeing Han Jing taking a second sip without hesitation, Tang Cheng felt a little bit more in his heart Sincerely, his acquaintance with Han Jing was just for Mr. Wenzhu's face, "Grandfather once said that everything is bitter and sweet, it all depends on how you look at it."

Han Jing was stunned for a moment, looked at the tea in the cup, and drank it in one gulp for a long time, Tang Nuan reached out and poured it [-]% full for him, Han Jing thanked him and took two sips, Tang Nuan stopped after drinking half a cup He moved, and said, "Third brother, you are chatting, I will take my leave first."

Tang Cheng nodded. In fact, he just sent someone to tell Tang Nuan about Han Jing's arrival. The rest was for Tang Nuan to choose. Naturally, Tang Nuan had her own plan when she came out to meet Han Jing.

Tang Nuan turned her head towards Han Jingjing and left with her maid. Han Jing got up hastily and looked at Tang Nuan's back. It didn't show up, and asked someone to change the tea again, and said softly, "Zi Heng will come and taste this tea again."

Han Jing pursed his lips, sat down again and said, "Okay." Taking a sip of the newly served tea, "Lushan Yunwu tea?"

"Exactly." Tang Cheng said with a smile, "I got some by chance some time ago."

Han Jing held the teacup in his chubby hand, the dimple in his hand was particularly obvious, and said, "I still have some good tea, I'll bring it to Brother Tang San tomorrow."

"I won't refuse." Tang Cheng said with a smile.

Han Jing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I..." As if he had made up his mind, Han Jing looked at Tang Cheng, "Can Brother Tang San give me a chance?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Cheng's face darkened and he said, "I don't understand Ziheng's words."

Han Jing looked at Tang Cheng, and the two of them looked at each other for a long time, Han Jing suddenly laughed at himself, holding up his teacup and said, "It's mine, I'll use tea instead of wine to make amends to brother Tang San."

Tang Cheng didn't want to offend Han Jing, so he softened his face when he heard the words, raised his teacup and took a sip of tea, but Han Jing drank it all in one gulp, said a few more words to Han Jing, and left, Tang Cheng naturally sent Han Jing Outside the door, he turned around and went to find Tang Nuan.

Tang Nuan was reading in the courtyard, and when she saw Tang Cheng, she smiled and said, "Why did the third brother come back so early today? But what's the matter with Mr. Wenzhu?"

"En." Tang Cheng sat on Tang Nuan's body and said, "The Holy Majesty suddenly summoned Mr. Wenzhu into the palace, so I came back first."

Tang Nuan poured a glass of water for Tang Cheng, and asked, "Then why did you come back with the prince?"

Tang Cheng drank a lot of tea just now, but now he didn't want to drink any more water. Hearing this, he said, "My son is also a student of Mr. Wenzhu, earlier than me."

"So that's how it is." Tang Nuan paused and nodded, "No wonder." In fact, Han Jing is not bad in speech and knowledge. Judging from the behavior of Yong'an County King after Han Jing's accident, he is obviously not very knowledgeable, and he can even It is said that some people are indecisive, otherwise Yu Shi, the second concubine of Prince Yong'an, would not dare to bribe people around Han Jing to harm her so blatantly.

If he is really a vigorous and resolute person, just because of hurting the royal blood, the Yu family will have no good fruit to eat, and if it is for the youngest son, at least the Yu family should be punished, or the Yu family should be punished by knocking on the mountain and shaking the drum , but none of these, the Yu family still relies on the Yu family's relationship.

"I'm afraid that the king of Yong'an County wanted to give the eldest son a crown prince as compensation, and he warned the step-concubine privately, thinking that the big and small things would be turned into small things, but he didn't know that this would only fuel his arrogance." Tang Cheng said in a deep voice.

If Yu Shi dared to attack for the first time, he would naturally dare to attack the second and third times, especially when Yu Shi found out that things had failed and there was no loss.

Tang Nuan nodded, "I think Shi Zi is very smart."

"En?" Tang Cheng looked at his sister, narrowed his eyes and said, "Why do you say that?"

"When the son finds out that his family members are unreliable, he naturally seeks foreign help." Tang Nuan smiled, "Could it be that the third brother really thinks that the son keeps coming to the house again and again because of the kindness of saving his life? low."

Tang Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "You can see it, but I can't see it?"

Tang Nuan suddenly thought of the cups that Han Jing asked someone to send. He hadn't been able to look carefully at the He Mansion, so she ordered Lan Le to find the cups and said, "Third brother, look, these are the gifts from the prince. thing."

Tang Cheng took out a cup, looked at the sun and said, "It's not bad."

Tang Nuan nodded, took out the cups one by one and set them up, looked carefully and said, "I don't think this cup is so simple, since the son wants to befriend the Tang family, it is time to find all the twelve flower god cups." Now there are only six of them. After thinking about it, Tang Nuan poured water into the plum blossom cup.

"Huh." Tang Cheng looked at the picture of plum blossoms reflected in the water, and said with a smile, "It's my sister who can see through it, it really is a good thing."
